How Well Can This Run Battlefield 3?

Closed

Hey guys, I need some help determining whether or not my computer can run BF3, as the title states. I checked CanYouRunIt and it says I beat the minimum, but that's not a clear indicator of how well my computer can run it. My specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz
4.0 GB RAM
Windows 7 64 bit
GeForce GT 240

Edit: Thanks for the replies everyone! On a somewhat related note, which is the better graphics card: a GTX 650 or a Radeon 7750?

Thanks for the help!

Upgrade your gpu and it'll run at a decent fps, i think. Feel free to say I'm wrong though, I don't know too much about this.
edit: bf3 is good to play on your comp. :D

U are wrong. Modern CPU can run it good even on gt240 Especially if we are talking about mp

I could barely run starcraft 2 on low with a similarly priced gpu, but you're probably right.

You could probably play on native resolution, with either low or medium, expect some fps drops on higher settings but low will probably be fine.

The latter. AMD cards tend to be cheaper and give you more bang for your buck. I personally own a NVIDIA card and will be upgrading to AMD when I get the cash :)

Comparison. 650 appears to be the way to go.

I would say the GTX 650 if you want to save having to upgrade in the near future, cause it can run quite a bunch of stuff.
Go for the Radeon 7750 if you want a budget card.

I heard the GTX 650 is terrible, but I dont know, but I think you should change your graphics.
